In Part Five of my Enterprise D Model Remodel journey, we complete the electronics and lighting of the Saucer section. This includes adding custom light circuits, attaching our electronics to custom 3D-printed mounts, and finishing up the rest of the wiring. I also added another Arduino page about how to add sounds/music to our project!

Enterprise Remodel Pt. 4
In Part Four of my Enterprise D Model Remodel adventure, we fully modify the Battle Section Neck and I share more information about using Arduino including Custom Functions, Booleans, Dimming LEDs, and how to switch high currents. I also included a third Lighting Test video which shows some new features I have added as well as a sneak preview of the mobile app I have been working on!
Enterprise Remodel Pt. 3
Part Three of my Model Remodel series of articles is now available for the Eaglemoss 1:900 scale U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork build. This part includes learning about using LEDs, resistors, and a bunch of Arduino pages. I delve into creating our first sketch, first circuit, using variables and if/else statements, as well as adding event timing and infrared remote control!
Enterprise Remodel Pt. 2
Part Two of my Model Remodel series of articles is now available for the Eaglemoss 1:900 scale U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork build. This part includes my modifications to the Bridge/Deck Two windows, a new Beacon Light, re-lighting the Warp Nacelles, and reassembly of the upper saucer while eliminating light leaks!
Enterprise D Remodel
The time has finally come in my Eaglemoss 1:900 scale U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork adventure for some serious modifications. To document this, I have created a new Model Remodel series of articles around my journey to add more details, realism, and accuracy to my model. Fair warning though, I am going crazy with this one – including everything from resin windows to new lighting and sound effects!
Part One containing my modifications to the reflectors and creating UV resin windows is now available!
Enterprise D Stages 55-58
We had a building bonanza this last weekend, so Stages 55-58 of our Enterprise D build are now available. In these stages, we finish up the upper surface of the saucer section with the last Deck Panels, Phaser Arrays, and Impulse Engines. We also start attaching the lower saucer skeleton frames and light the entire saucer up all at once for the first time!
Enterprise D Stages 51-54
It has been a while, but work has resumed on our Enterprise D build. With Stages 51-54, we assemble and attach more Deck Panels, add to our port Warp Nacelle, and even modify the Arboretum to be lit up blue!
Enterprise Six-Foot Model
I recently had the opportunity to see the original ILM six-foot-model practical shooting model of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California. I took a ton of pictures of her and wanted to share them with my visitors!
Stages 51+ Delayed
Well, I hit a roadblock with our Enterprise D build as Stage 52 is out of stock with no ETA. I am hoping to see the next stages soon!
Enterprise D Stages 47-50
As we continue our Enterprise D build, we will add more Deck Panels and finish installing the port warp nacelle Reflectors in Stages 47-50!
